Hi, I’m Karots, the Welsh pony, and though I may be a bit older now, I still have a mischievous streak! As a lesson pony, I spend my days teaching children not just how to ride but how to stay alert and on their toes! My mornings start like anyone else's—with breakfast, but don’t dare give me food I don’t like, or I’ll simply refuse to eat! After my meal, I play with my pony pals—biting, kicking, and running around wildly—it’s our favorite way to bond! Then, the real fun begins. I know when the children arrive, and I can’t wait to greet them. I like to test my new two-legged friends as soon as they put the halter on, by bolting out of the stall. Sometimes I run so fast I lift them right off their feet—what a ride! Of course, if they let go of the lead rope, it’s FREEDOM! I trot around like the star of my own parade, and the humans reward me with carrots and cookies for my stellar performance. Once they catch me, it’s time for the next round of fun in the arena. I make sure their ride is exciting—no boring trotting in circles for me! I prefer zig-zag patterns, spontaneous canters, and inserting my head or leg through the fence, just to make them squeal. I’ve also mastered the art of picking up branches, just to see how long I can hold on while they try to pry them from my mouth! Of course, after all that fun, I always end the day with good behavior. The children un-tack me, give me lots of scratches (the human version of chewing, I’ve learned), and most importantly, plenty of carrots. After all, carrots are a Karots’ favorite treat!

A busy bee finds a butterfly in the garden and they become best friends.

Once upon a time, in a beautiful meadow, there was a busy little bee named Benny. Benny loved to buzz from flower to flower, collecting sweet nectar. One sunny morning, as Benny was buzzing about, he stumbled upon a big, bright balloon that was caught in a tree. Benny was a brave bee, so he decided to help. With his tiny stinger, he carefully popped the balloon, and it floated away into the blue sky.

Beginning: A young student (or the whole class) notices their teacher’s tattoos and starts wondering why an adult would have drawings on their skin. Some kids might think it's cool, while others may have been told that tattoos are bad or scary. Tattoos are art and a form of self-expression. Everyone has different ways of telling their story. Judging others based on appearances is not fair. Creativity comes in many forms—books, paintings, music, and even tattoos! Diversity makes the world a more beautiful place Middle: The teacher shares the meaning behind some of their tattoos—maybe one represents family, another is a favorite book character, and another is a beautiful design they loved. They explain that tattoos are like artwork on skin, just like paintings in a museum or illustrations in a book. The students begin to see tattoos in a new way and start thinking about what kind of art or stories they would want to express. End: The class embraces the idea that tattoos are just another way of sharing stories and creativity. Maybe the students create their own “tattoos” with washable markers or drawings on paper, designing artwork that represents their favorite things. The book ends with the teacher reminding them that everyone expresses themselves in different ways, and that’s what makes the world colorful and exciting!
